[PDF] Introduction to Performance Testing

What should performance testing look like?

Performance testing should be simple, straightforward and quick we should be avoiding the out-dated approach that sees performance testing: • over engineered, • over documented, • executed very late in the programme, • with very little structure.

What measures are used in performance evaluation?

Also discussed are the development and use of objective perform-ance measures such as turnover, sales volume, error rates and work samples. Campbell, D. J., & Lee, C. (1988). Self-appraisal in performance evaluation:Development versus evaluation.

What are the benefits of performance testing?

Environment sizing is another benefit of our early adoption of performance testing. Data is also another important environment consideration, in order to ensure that your database performs, is tuned and that appropriate indexes have been applied, you need representative data volumes in terms of quantity and quality.

What tools & processes are needed for monitoring and evaluation?

CHANGES IN TOOLS AND PROCESSES Monitoring and evaluation that is results-based requires specific kinds of tools and processes. For example, country offices need to use flexible monitoring instruments (project reports, workplans, field visits, stakeholder meetings) on a periodic basis to support performance measurement.
